Reuters indicated that HTC is targeting $150 to $300 price bracket to claw back some market share, and the newly leaked Desire 8 looks to fit that bill. According to Engadget and MyDrivers, the new mid-tier smartphone will feature a plastic body instead of the metal body featured on the One, One Max, and One Mini.

The Desire 8 will come with a 5.5” display, although the resolution isn’t known at this time (we’re assuming it’ll be at least be 720p). Other features include a 13MP rear camera, 5MP front-facing camera, dual stereo speakers, and dual-SIM capability. The smartphone will be available in red, yellow, orange, blue, and green.

The Desire 8 is said to be launching on March 18th in China, so we’ll have to wait until at least then to get an idea of U.S. availability.

Calm down chief. I have big hands and love my Note 3, I can't even use a stupid iPhone quickly because the screen is just to small so using an iPhone or small screen is very cumbersome for those of us with large hands.

There is a reason they make large and small phones...there is a market for both. Buy what works for you, and I'll buy what works for me.

To tell them to stop making phones in a certain form factor just because they don't fit your lady's hands is absurd.

Yet you can't use a 5" screen phone with one hand. I can use my G2 with one hand easily and I'm not a big guy. That said, the G2's 5.2" screen is the max size for me. It's only a little wider and longer than my old SGN.

You seem to spend more time bashing people for not thinking like you do. "What, you don't agree with me? Screw you buddy and the horse you rode in on -- and if you rode here in an EV; screw your momma too!" :-)
